Girls Asked To Give Rugby A Try At Manchester
| Author: manchestergirlsrugby | Published: 26th June 2009 13:43 |
Cheadle Hulme based Manchester Rugby Club have decided to build on a successful season for their Under 15 Girls by adding an Under 18 Girls team for their campaign in 2009/10.
Manchester Under 15 Girls recently completed a very successful 2008/09 season in the North West Girls Merit League, finishing as runners-up in the first year that the league has been organised. The team's free scoring backs also made Manchester the highest points scorers in the league.
A number of the girls from that team will now be moving up to the new Under 18 squad. This means that there are opportunities for new players to start playing the game at both age groups, along with some of the established players.
Coach Diane Fantom is keen to stress that players of any age, size or ability will be made very welcome and encourages all girls to give it a go.
"Rugby is a great team sport. We are not looking for a particular type of player, as anyone will find a position that suits them. Girls can come along to learn the game, get fit and make some new friends," she said.
Manchester's initiative to develop girls' rugby in the area will hopefully lead to a natural progression of players through the age groups and into the Club's already established Women's XV.
The Club has been proud to provide players to represent the North West region this year, but are just as happy to provide training and an opportunity for girls new to the game.
Any girls up to the age of 18 interested in playing rugby in an encouraging and successful environment would be welcomed, and should ring coach Diane Fantom on 07833 948358 or email manchestergirlsrugby@google.mail.com for details.
